After a police dog alerted officers of possible drugs, they found a crack pipe and half of a Klonopin pill that Lapeyrouse did not have a prescription for, police said.

A woman in the car was issued a misdemeanor summons for possession of drug paraphernalia after she was also found with a crack pipe, police said.
